The ever-so seventies barrette hair clip is back. Spotted on actress Emma Stone at the Golden Globes and Anna Faris at the Peoples Choice Awards just the week before, the clip has now returned to the spotlight. There is an understated elegance about the barrette; it adds a cool metallic glint nestled into an updo or when used to create a neat ponytail—this is one versatile hair piece.

For years, the barrette was deemed out of date (you may remember your mother wearing one when you were younger), but the beauty lies in its simplicity. The neat ponytails seen on the runway for Whistles Spring 2015 by James Pecis show us just how haute this little metal strip can be. No need for a mass of bobby pins or hair ties, either—this season we’re cheering to bring back the barrette.
